Off-Campus Opportunities

The residents at Brewster Village will be engaging with students on campus around service-related activities. Together, they will make dog toys and blankets for those in need. Following, there will be a performance for the Villagers by Swing Dance (request pending).

Volunteers will help with pantry, refrigerator, and freezer cleaning along with some organizational projects, like inventorying hygeine supplies. COTS is dedicated to ending homelsessness and provides temporary shelter for homelss men, women, and children in the Fox Valley region.

Volunteers will help with various projects around the building, such as deep cleaning the living areas, organizing donations, and possibly some other indoor projects. Homeless Connections strives to impact those in need of shelter and food acting as transitional housing.

Volunteer tasks include child care, deep cleaning of the kitchen, and organization of the basement storage. Harbor House is an integrated and supportive community, surrounding victims and survivors of domestic abuse with a comprehensive range of program options.

Volunteering at Riverview Gardens is an opportunity to engage in community stewardship, and help address the root causes of poverty, homelessness and unemployment, while having fun at an urban farm and park space. Volunteers experience the mission of Riverview Gardens through meaningful work, mutual respect, willing participation, open communication, and energized spirits. Various volunteer tasks could include harvesting, weeding, preparing beds, winterizing 20 hoop houses, etc. The service project will conclude with a Decoda “Music for All: Connecting Musicians and Community” performance and students will return to campus just a tad later then other projects (5:30 pm). All volunteers are welcome to this event. Co-sponsored by the Lawrence University Conservatory of Music.
